Configuration files by bspw.

This is a very minimal hyprland configuration. Easy to understand, does not include any fancy themeswitching and scripting.

Required apps:

For screenshots: grim slurp wl-copy wl-clipboard
Apps used in setup: alacritty swaync hyprlock swww waybar imv yad rofi pcmanfm-gtk3 scrcpy pavucontrol
Some external modules and apps: xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland bc pamixer brightnessctl network-manager-applet

After installation:

1. Hyprland setup
   
2. Waybar setup
   
3. Install GTK theme: WhiteSur-Dark
4. Install JetbrainsMono Nerd font: copy ttf files to ~/.local/share/fonts/ then fc-cache -f -v
5. Swww setup

Setups

To setup and use second built-in SSD natively, preform the following steps:

1. Disable hybernation in Windows (Via regedit)
2. Create a directory for your disc e.g. mkdir -p ~/SSD2
3. Run sudo blkid. Search for LABEL="1TB" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="0624F1AC24F19F3D" TYPE="ntfs", important is the LABEL matching the one you entered in windows. TYPE should be NTFS.
   copy the UUID
4. Open the /etc/fstab file and add the following line:
   

UUID=COPIED_UUID /home/USERNAME/SSD2 ntfs-3g defaults,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022 0 0

Just in case, check if the uid and gid values are correct by running id -u and id -g

Apps

MControlCenter

Controlls fans on an MSI laptop (Arch kernels have all modules, unlike fedora/pop_os or others)
To use an unsupported version (Like in my case)

1. Open msi-ec.c in the cloned repository
2. Locate a piece of code that will look like this:
   

result = ec_get_firmware_version(ver_by_ec);
if (result < 0)
    return result;

ver = ver_by_ec;

After the variable ver insert pr_info("MSI EC: FIRMWARE_READ = %s\n", ver); 3. Recompile make, reinstall sudo make install and REBOOT your system 4. After rebooting, paste sudo modprobe msi-ec
5. Now retrieve your EC firmware version via dmesg | grep -i FIRMWARE_READ to confirm, if it matches one under UNSUPPORTED and has a config available. In my case it was MSI Katana GF76 UC11 / 17L1EMS1.107 6. Search for the corresponding config (for 17L1EMS1 it is conf14). It would look like this: a structure, where the number matches the one in confX:

static const char *ALLOWED_FW_14[] __initconst = {
	"17L2EMS1.108", // Katana 17 B11UCX, Katana GF76 11UC
	"17L1EMS1.107", // -> insert EC version here
	NULL
};

Insert the previously found EC version, preserving the formatting. 7. Recompile make, reinstall sudo make install and REBOOT your system

Note

The module needs to be reinstalled on each linux kernel update
